Matthew Pearl is a graduate of Harvard University and Yale Law School and has taught literature at Harvard and at Emerson College. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club and editor of the Modern Library’s Longfellow translation of Dante's Inferno. His latest novel is The Poe Shadow.
Includes The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, and The Purloined Letter
Between 1841 and 1844, Edgar Allan Poe invented the genre of detective fiction with three mesmerizing stories of a young French eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin. Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune to live on. Years later, Dorothy Sayers would describe “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” as “almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice.” Indeed, Poe’s short mysteries inspired the creation of countless literary sleuths, among them Sherlock Holmes. Today, the Dupin stories still stand out as unique, utterly engrossing page-turners.
This Modern Library edition reproduces the definitive texts of the three tales. It includes an enlightening Introduction by novelist Matthew Pearl and an Appendix, “The Earliest Detectives.”

讀瞭之後愈發覺得《月光寶石》比這本書更配得上偵探小說之祖。愛倫·坡的東西還是定位成都市奇譚比較好
评分mon Dieu!
评分隻讀過rue morgue,看英文版幾乎看不懂啊,太多單詞不認識瞭。因為是第一篇偵探小說,對Dupin的描寫很生硬,不是很喜歡
评分baudelaire的最愛
评分比較喜歡第二個故事 um最後一個故事一點都不make sense
